MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry have reportedly hired an Oscar-nominated director to work on their Netflix show.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to have called in mega-lead Liz Garbus after working on the hotly anticipated docu-series for over a year.
PageSix reports Garbus joined the couple for their trip in New York last September, where Harry was spotted with a microphone tucked into his clothing.
The three-day trip included a stay at a luxury apartment at United Nations Plaza as well as a red carpet gala honouring veterans aboard the USS Intrepid in Manhattan.
There was also a lunch at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey.
Garbus, who was an executive producer on the Britney vs Spears documentary, was reportedly seen with colleagues smuggling camera equipment under coats and bags out of the UN digs while setting up and filming the Sussexes.

Her film crew was also spotted with the couple in an Airstream van on their way to the veterans’ gala.
The filmmaker has worked on a number of well-known projects, including Ariana Grande’s Excuse Me, I Love You, doc and the last season of A Handmaid’s Tale, which earned her an Emmy nomination last year.
Left-leaning Garbus is also openly political, with her Instagram urging for abortion rights in the wake of the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade.
Earlier this month, Meghan and Harry faced strict filming rules during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in London.
It was understood Netflix would not be given any privileged access to royal events over the weekend.
And a team of palace “minders” were said to be tasked to stop any moves by filmmakers “exploiting” the streaming giant’s £112million deal with the couple at the four-day celebrations.
It’s not yet clear if Netflix has been given the green light to film three-year-old Archie and 11-month-old Lilibet.
The couple previously said they are worried the youngsters will become “digital experiments” in a “world of hatred and harm” during an interview about online safety.
